Names of functions from the standard library should be hyperlinks to standard library docs

[kukimik]

I suggest to add hyperlinks to relevant sections of https://api.flix.dev/ whenever functions or modules from the standard library are mentioned.

For example, the paragraph on Additional Array Operations:

The Array module offers an extensive collection of functions for working with arrays. For example, Array.append, Array.copyOfRange, Array.findLeft, Array.findRight, Array.sortWith, and Array.sortBy to name a few. In total, the module offers more than 100 functions ready for use.

could be rendered as:

Yes, that would be awesome!

I don't know if we should do it manually, semi-automatically, or have some kind of command.

Does markdown/mdbook allow such a custom command?

I don't know mdBook, but it looks like this could be done using a custom preprocessor, see https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/format/configuration/preprocessors.html and https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/for_developers/preprocessors.html. Certainly it requires some thought to do it right.

It would be nice if those links were decorated in some way (e.g. with an external link icon) to show that they lead outside the book.
